Carolina at New York

The New York Rangers have dug themselves a deep hole, falling to 0-2 in their series with Carolina. The Rangers have been rock solid on the defensive end, but they have not been able to get anything going on offense. The venue changes for Game 3, and I expect to see the Rangers open things up on the offensive end. The Rangers scored 17 times in their four home games vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins, or 4.25 goals per game on home ice. Carolina allowed Boston to score 14 goals in the Bruins' three home games, so I think you are going to see a more wide-open game here. Carolina has played to the OVER in their last four road games, with the average total goals at 6.75 per contest. The Rangers, in four playoff home games, have seen those games average 7.25 total goals per contest. Play the OVER in this one.
